Do I use this product in addition to fertilizer and compost?

I use it when transplanting, applying the mycorrhizae granules directly onto the exposed roots. I do use compost, but do not use nitrogen fertilizer at that time. My understanding is that extra nitrogen tends to inhibit the nitrogen fixing function of the mycorrhizae. Once the plant is established with its own population of mycorrhizae inhabiting the roots I suppose that one could supplement with fertilizer as needed.

You have to mix this product first. It can be harmful to some plants at too high of a concentration.

Yes, Sophie, it can be used in conjunction. Try and remember this, with these things, less is more, if your growing a garden in soil or hydro, this will only help keep your soil healthy, and the nutrient availability in hydroponics systems cleaner, while nutrients are kept FLOWING rather than building up, and often creating your #1 & 2 enemies in BOTH systems... BACTERIA! This product helps sustain plants by keeping water fresher. Also..flushes clean out your excess of the Additives/Fertilizers/Etc. that, when used, become salts, and this keeps the plant bound because of poisoning, over time from these salts, they build up and poison the plant. What kills a plant faster than salt?! This keeps the plants from reaching their fullest, most healthy and organic potentials. Any more ?s feel free to ask!! Happy Gardening Sophie!!!

It's my understanding that additional fertilizers are not required, however i do use Seachem Flourish Tablets in my tank along with the CaribSea Eco-Complete

Yeah, it's just what they need and they won't lose the natural fungus and bacteria that break down organic material to produce more natural fertilizer. But I would make sure to dilute it very well. Most people burn by using too much. Keeping the soil consistently moist is most important for soil health and for seedlings

No, this does not come with fertilizer. You would have to order those separately. Also, a word of warning, if you have hard or rocky soil, you may want to check some other options for watering. This unit does not hold up well in hard soils.

You will need other fertilizer as well. This is just micro-nutrients. I use it instead of the kelp meal/azomite in this formula: http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/complete-organic-fertilizer-zebz1309znsp.aspx?PageId=2#ArticleContent

Hey there Mr. Bill J. I used this product to build container gardens and it worked great with a soil mix.

Yes. It can actually work better that way, replacing the nitrogen your compost has already burned and reheating/activating your compost pile. It is organic, so the nitrogen is not so high that the late addition to your compost would hurt plants.

This product is pointless with any non organic fertilizer! The main purpose of Rock Dust" is for a place microbes to attach, to help break down the soil and give plants more nutrients or specific things. If you are growing with non organic fertilizers this really is a waste of your money do to the fact that they kill most if not all of your microbes..

Absolutely! As the previous post states...use it with confidence; plants easily utilize the additional nutrients and it shows.

Don't know....I've only used it for grass seed and fertilizer and it doesn't work great for that either.

Just turn the compost every few weeks. Shouldn't be a problem. Check your ratio of brown material to green.

Sprinkle the product over the soil surface. Watering as you normally would will activate the fertilizer.

You shouldnt need any additional fertilizer for a long time but depending on your tank size I would suggest a co2 maker. The cheaper co2 makers are just as good as the expensive ones, just depends on how much maintenance you want to do. I hope this is helpful.

You still need compost to brew the tea but it will add to the healthy biology of the tea. A little goes a long way!
